Exchange Contacts Missing

Mail, Tasks and Calendars are sync without an issue. Contacts from my Outlook contact list come up short. I have over 450 contacts in Outlook but Address Book only pulled in 275 via Exchange. I deleted the account and set it up again, same issue. I can access the Exchange GAL without an issue but my Outlook contacts are not in sync.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

My behaviour is slightly different, but the problem with my missing contacts is also related to File As.
I introduced Apple into my Exchange world when I bought an iPhone. The new phone slipped into my environment without any fuss, everything synchronised with the iPhone and nothing appeared to get broken.
Then my PC had a hard disk failure and my corporate IT guys presented me with a new one. It was when I synchronised Outlook with the Exchange server that I first encountered some strangeness with my contacts.
I am a "last, first (company)" filer and I saw in Business Card view that many (but not all) of my contacts had lost this specific filing. When I open such a contact the File As field is blank.
Interestingly, when I edit the Business Card view (messing with the field order so that I can see the value of the File As field) the File As field is not blank. So, two ways of looking at things, two different results.
These are the contacts that will not sync with Entourage or with an Apple Address Book Exchange account. They will sync with Outlook and they will sync with my iPhone.
I can't figure out an automated way to mend them, so I'm trawling through them manually at lunch break. Hey, I'm already at "E"!
The next step is to try to figure out how to create one of these bad contacts.

  • Address Book Contacts Missing with Exchange

    I have seen this posted previously, but there has been little discussion.
    My exchange setup in SL seems to work perfectly in iCal and Mail, but I am missing about 100 contacts out of the 200 or so contacts that should be there. I do not see anything common between these contacts that would make them go missing, except that most (maybe all of them) come from the same group. There are only a few contacts that synced over from this group, but most are missing. I have yet to determine if any contacts from my other groups are missing.
    I have this same exchange account set up on a Windows machine and on my iPhone and everything syncs fine between those devices.
    Thanks.
    A quick update. I have determined that there are contacts missing from all of my groups.

    I am having the same problem. I updated to SL and about 1/3 of my contacts are missing. I still have them on my phone and am trying to figure out if there is a way to dowload them to my computer.

  • IPhone with Exchange contacts will not sync to Laptop

    A user at our company has an iPhone that syncs with our Exchange server just fine. He just purchased a Mac Book and cannot get his contacts to sync through iTunes.
    It will sync any contacts that he has directly on the phone, but not any that are from the Exchange account.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thank you in advance.

    No way to do this, which is a limitation with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync which provides for syncing contacts over the air with the Exchange server, and this is the way that most employers want it. Contacts synced over the air are not stored locally on the iPhone.
    If the employer allows for accessing the company Exchange account on a personal computer at home, the user can create/access the company Exchange account with the Mail.app on his Mac, which provides for syncing Exchange contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal.
    What is available when syncing Exchange contacts over the air with an Exchange account on an iPhone is syncing personal contacts direct with a supported address book application on a personal computer at home via the iTunes sync process. Business and personal contacts can be viewed combined or separately on the iPhone and are stored and synced separately on the iPhone.

  • Revolution-Exchange contacts will not sync

    I have an issue where my exchange contacts will not update on my new Revolution.  The Activesync is working fine with my mail and my calendar over my exchange account, but the phone will not load my contacts from exchange.  I have called online tech support and am working with my work IT group... but so far nothing has worked... any ideas from the group?

    as a follow up - PROBLEM SOLVED... 
    I had to make a backup copy of my contacts... delete them all from my primary exchange contact list... and then I created a test contact which started the sync process to my phone.
    I could then add my 600+ contacts back in smaller groups to get them to sync to my phone.
    Thanks to my IT department for the suggestion !!!

    After upgrading to iOS 5 I cannot enter to mail (outlook exchange ),contact did not open, general settings - mail contact did not work.help me

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • Can i sync mobile me and exchange contacts at same time?

    hi, i've a mobileme account, with my contacts synchronized. The question is, if now, i configure on that same iphone, an exchange account (my work email), and i also sync exchange contacts, will my mobileme contacts be erased? or they will coexist both without any problem?
    thanks!!!

    Yes, you can. Contacts from MobileMe and the Exchange server will be stored in separate groups. In addition, you'll have access to the Global Address List on the Exchange server.

  • How can I back up my exchange contacts to icloud

    Good day
    Our company has just lost our ms exchange server information. I am tasked to restore what I can but the situation looks dire. My fear is that when the clients with iphones (all the managers and myself) sync with their mailboxes with an empty contacts list, there phones will update to that contact list and they will lose all contacts on their phone that they have.
    Can I somehow back up their exchange contacts to ICloud? My phone doen't let me.
    My idea is: re-create their mail boxes, retrieve the contacts from the cloud, and in doing so, restore their contacts to their exchange account when it sync.
    Hope you can help
    Jacques

    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups.  Then check to see what group the contacts belong to.  If they don't belong to an iCloud group, they won't sync with iCloud.

  • Birthday calendar for Exchange contacts

    Hi,
    is the automatically created birthday calendar in iCal only capable of displaying the birthdays of local contacts or what can I do to include the birthdays of my Exchange contacts as well?
    Thank you in advance!

    This behavior has been reported recently here, and yet no solution is provided by Apple.

  • How to read microsoft exchange contacts in oracle Database

I am searching a proper method to integrate kindly give your suggestionsExchange server is also integrated with Active Directory (AD) services? If so, you can use the PL/SQL supplied package DBMS_LDAP to access user details (including e-mail addresses) from Exchange via AD (an option we use in production for handling escalation processes, task assignments and so on, via PL/SQL).
    Another option is so use MAPI (Mail API) if implemented/supported by Exchange. You can define external procedures in PL/SQL. Such an external procedure can be a call to an external DLL - such as mapi.dll. Alternatively, you can roll your own abstraction API for MAPI (or Exchange), implement this as a DLL, and call it from PL/SQL as an external procedure.
    Of course, this option requires your Oracle instance to run on Windows. Whereas the LDAP option does not use proprietary APIs and will work from any platform/server.

  • How to sync up apple contact book and exchange contacts

    I have a bunch of contacts in my Apple Contact book but am using Outlook for Mac 2011 for email, contact management, and calendar.  I have read that you have to sync your Apple contact book to your exchange account rather than directly to the Outlook for Mac 2011 programs so you don't create duplicates (contacts coming from the Apple address book AND the Exchange server).  However, I can't find anything that tells me how to sync the Apple Contacts with my Exchange account.  I figure at that point once synced, my exchange account will push the new contacts from the Apple Contact book back into Outlook for Mac 2011 making everything whole. 
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    itsamacthing,
    Thanks for the quick response.  I do have the exchange service added and am only bringing the contacts down from the exchange side into the Contacts portion (not syncing mail, calendar, etc). It has seemed to create two different "sections' in the Apple Contacts Address book (Please see screenshot).  I was hoping to somehow merge/sync these two so I am always working out of one directory.  When I create a contact in my Outlook for Mac 2011 it dumps it in the "Exchange" section and up to my Exchange server.  However, when I create one on my iphone and sync the phone with this system via usb cable, it puts all new contacts created in the "On My Mac" section thus not moving it to my Exchange or Outlook for Mac 2011 causing new contacts to only sync with different sections based on where they were created.
    (As a side note, I have to sync via the firewire cable due to having over 10,000 contacts.  There was an issue with the previous release of IOS that caused massive problems with syncing over the air with that many contacts.  I've never fully recovered and have not had the hard to do over the air syncing again, hence the tethered sync).
    If there is anything I can do to get this rolled into one Address book that syncs from phone all the way through to Exchange server, I would appreciate any additional direction.  I've also included a second screen shot to show the difference between the Exchange contacts total (10,660) and the All on my Mac contacts total (10,774).  Ideally they would both say 10,774.
    Thank you again.

  • HT204053 how do i copy all my exchange contacts to icloud.

    How do i copy my exchange contacts from my iphone to icloud

    Hi,
    This has been an issue for a lot of people lately, including myself.
    I personally prefer to have my contacts saved on apple's servers rather than microsoft's especially since I'm now using several apple devices.
    I couldn't find any answers to this on the web, except exporting-importing manually each contact.
    Worked that out by myself for a few hours and found this way of doing it "automatically" without the need of a computer, your iDevice will suffice!
    Step 1 : have your windows live/exchange contacts synced on the idevice.
    Step 2 : Install the Free application "My Contacts Backup" from the AppStore and make a backup.
    Step 3 : Send the backup file to yourself via Email.
    Step 4 : Make sure that the default contacts account on your iDevice is iCloud in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - Contacts - default account"
    Step 5 : Open the backup file in the mail from the idevice and install all contacts.
    Step 6 : Disable the contacts sync function of Exchange in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - your Echange Account name" if you do not want to have both in your contacts list. This will automatically delete all contacts on the iDevice from your Exchange account.
    And Voila! Hope this will help a lot of people

  • Exchange Contacts won't sync to Address Book

    I configured Lion 10.7.3 to sync mail, contacts, and calendar with my corporate Exchange 2010 server.  Mail and iCal sync fine.  But Address Book shows a blank Exchange Contacts list.  The Mail app Show Addresses dialog also shows a blank Exchange Contacts list.  I have no problems syncing 450+ Exchange Contacts to other devices including iPhone.  I tried deselecting and re-selecting Exchange Contacts in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Exchange. Same results, blank Exchange Contacts list.
    Console Diagnostic and Usage Messages shows several incidents of this message.  This might be normal.  I see similar entries for iCal, which sync'd fine.
    4/30/12 10:31:02.523 PM Address Book: EWSServerVersion: 14.1.355.2
    com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.exchange.serverVersion
    com.apple.message.sig qnature: 14.1.355.2
    com.apple.message.result: noop
    System.log does show this iCal error.  SImilar reports in old forum posts describe problems with iCal handling recurring calendar events.  This problem is hopefully unrelated to the blank Exchange Contacts list.

    How can I resolve this problem?

    I notice exactly the same problem: perfect sync with Mail and iCal; no sync on Addressbook.
    However, the problem can be ring-fenced a bit better:
    1. sync works fine for "contacts" or "suggested contacts" one introduces in a personal contacts part of the outlook addressbook.
    2. What does "apparently" not function, is the sync with the "<corporate> global addresslist": the global addresslist as a category does appear in the apple addressbook, but it's content remains blank.
    3. What does work, is to select the "<corporate> address list" in the Apple addressbook, and then do a search on a name.  On that moment, the name gets filled in the list of the "<corporate> global addresslist", and clicking on that record provides the detail of the address card.
    Conclusion: some sync-ing takes place, but there seems to be something blocking the immediate visualisation of the "<corporate> global addresslist"
    Any idea why the list does not appear ?

  • HT5058 How do I get the icloud contacts information moved over to the exchange contacts?

    How do I get my icloud contacts on my iphone moved into my exchange contacts at work? I have originally uploaded the contacts from my personal blackberry to the iphone then later we got exchange setup. How do I get the contacts from icloud loaded into exchange? I have access to them on the phone but not on my outlook exchange at my work computer.

  • Exchange contacts not showing up in Spotlight

    For some reason the contacts in the Address Book that are from the Exchange server are not showing up in a Spotlight search. Other contacts that are 'On My Mac' work just fine.
    I tried trashing the 'Metadata' folder but that didn't fix the problem.
    Any ideas?

    A temporary fix is to copy all exchange contacts to "on my mac". This doesn't duplicate on the exchange server and does not duplicate entries when emailing.
    I am also wondering about push vs fetch. Has anyone else realized that messages, calendar items, and contacts are not being pushed. The programs are all fetching them off the server? Is this a bug? What interval do other people use to fetch their exchange mail?
